Ok, so I've been looking into volunteering in my spare time and came across the national Association of Blood Bikes http://www.bloodbikes.org.uk/ . The problem is that there are no groups set up in my area, the nearest are the White Knights in Yorkshire afaik. And after talking to someone at NABB, I understand that there are several people locally that would volunteer, but there is no group formed yet. I'm researching this elsewhere, but thought i would ask this here also. So my questions so far are. Does anyone have any experience of volunteering in a similar role? If so, what was/is your experience like? Does anyone know what is entailed in setting up a …

Has anyone done a CBT using their own bike?, if so how did you get on with your insurance company, reason I ask is a young gun I know is looking to sit his CBT soon and has a bike-he's having difficulty finding an insurance company to cover him-til he's got his CBT

Went to get on my bike today, had to remove the disc lock first... it was being a bit stubborn so I tried forcing it (idiot that I am) and managed to snap the key off in the lock. What is the best way of removing it without damaging the disc brake itself? I don't have a spare key as i got it with the bike when I bought it... Help!

hello i know its not a bike or a Yamaha but its still an engine and the theory is still the same, cant seem to find anything on the matter so i thought id try here. (id understand if no one replies) right, iv got a go-kart engine its a honda gx 160 clone (5.5hp) and yes iv looked on google for tuning tips and safe to say iv managed to do most of them! iv de-governed the engine and put stronger valve spring in so it revs higher (5000rpm), iv put a free flow air filter on and a straight through exhaust, and might be putting a mikuni carb on (a spare xvs dragstar carb with smaller jets ) now iv read up about ignition timing for this engine but i get confu…

Ladies and gentlemen, I need some help on a new helmet please. Im looking at a arai tour x3 or shoei hornet - basically that type of helmet (dual sport) but a: I cant really justify £280-350 for a helmet that will be used for less than 100 days a year but as they say what price do you put on your head? b: its cheaper to buy online than a high street shop but the last time i brought a helmet i brought a helmet that cut the circulation to my head - i thought it would get better over time it didn't! How do i measure properly without buying a helmet to big or to small again or is it just better to go the shop? c: best place to buy d: what recommendations for a he…

Dont buy 'Bike it' bike covers . . . Thier crap. Ive had two off them in a month and both have come apart at the seams and the wind gets in and rips them apart leaving my bike open to the elements. If the covers are this bad, whats the rest of thier product range like . . . As cheap and nasty as the covers i suspect ! Give them a wide birth !

What a remarkable difference in the weather today from the passed couple... bright sun, no wind, clear skies. I got out for a totally unexpected hour and a half run along the twisties. The youngest daughter climbed atop her dad's bike, so I snapped a few. It's not enough she's got her own. She'll be wanting mine soon. I know that look. 40MR

Hello peeps the snow has resided, i have a new front tyre on its way for the XJ, and it is time for me to venture outside of the warm confines of my 4x4 back onto the XJ... but i cant help but want to tinker with it... so far the only toys i have are heated grips, but i want to change that, what options are available for an old(er) bike such as the '89 XJ? i used to have a fender extender but that fell off in town and i ran it over, i have also been looking at universal steering dampers but unsure as to how i would fit one, and a motorcycle radio with headphone attachments basically looking for any gadgets or toys to make the journey more comfortable, input appr…
